leaning post with footrest on the wheelhouse.
i don't like those cooler seats with the flip up backrest. when your leaning on the backrest you can't reach the wheel.
leaning post for rod storage, little cubby/junk drawer under the cusion, and your cooler underneath.good to go.
driving for 2 plus hours to get offshore and trolling all day, whatever,,, you wanna comfy seat to kick back and put your feet up for the ride home.
make sure you can reach the wheel sitting back comfy. use the rods in the leaning post for a backrest
leaning over for 2+ hours gives wickid neck cramps.
those flip down footrests you put in front of the leaning post bang chins all day. and once your in the seat your legs can't reach them anyways.
i like the ones cut into the wheelhouse out of the way.

Leaning post is great with the footrest on the console and you have room under it to put a cooler too. The swingback setup may be nice for a smaller center console, but on a 19 foot and over, I think a leaning post is the way to go. When cruising you're gonna stand mostly anyway so the knees can take some of the shock. Rodholders in the back of it are nice too.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Todd makes one that has a bait well under it. We got won for my Son for his 18'er for Xmass. Much better request than Xbox or some game that keeps glued to a TV for hours on a nice fishing day...

Get a leaning post with wide seperated legs so you can put a keep-a-alive livewell for your plastics  ... |

My preference on a center console is for a leaning post because I like to stand while underway. I had one just like the one MTC posted on my Wellcraft and it worked out well.
That said, I've also had the cooler flip back seats and there are advantages to that option as well.
Really comes down to what suits your style of fishing.
